flow-control

Solenoid valve manager with PWM-styled energizing, master control, and possible flow rate feedback.

  • Nozzle sizes are 3/4", meant for standard purpose garden hoses.
  • Intended to be powered by a 12V 2A power supply.
  • Solenoids are connected to the bottom of the valve manager through a 2-pin socket.

This repository is intended for the NJIT ECET-430 course.

Questions

What parts does the Flowcontrol old use?

29 parts, built around the ATMEGA328-PU and XL1509-3.3. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Flowcontrol old KiCad files?

From the bl433/flow-control repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/kicad/flowcontrol/flowcontrol_old.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/flowcontrol redo.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Flowcontrol old design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
